No. Not at all. I don't know where this idea is coming from. ODbL does _not_ insist that the data can only be accessed by open-source programs or in open formats. A couple of people appear to have suggested that _their_ ideal licence would require this; but given that a) they haven't actually proposed such a licence, b) nor have they argued for the easy and obvious step of browser-sniffing to prevent IE/Safari/Opera users from using osm.org (well, exactly), I suggest said suggestions are politely ignored until they do. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/License-plan-tp22245532p22327489.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
